Alpinestars Air-Flo Textile Jacket

By Mike from Minnesota on 05/12/2008

Pros: I love it, its thick enough to keep me warm on 50 degree nights and not to warm for the 80 degree days and I haven't taken out the zip-in liner yet.

Cons: Long sleeves, but I am odd shaped compared to the general population.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: I am a broader guy and I sit only 5'7". I picked the XL cause my shoulder would fit the body of the jacket. The sleeves are a little long, but its nice cause they have a zipper on the cuffs where you can adjust the wrists, etc.

Comments: Good jacket and for the price you can't beat it!!!

Pros: Great looks, good liner. The jacket is still pretty comfortable considering it doesn't fit me perfectly. I am happy enough to keep the jacket, but there are definately nicer summer riding jackets out there.

Cons: The jacket doesn't have great airflow. The air flow is average considering it is a mostly mesh jacket. The jacket is also cut funny. The arm wholes were small. It fits tight around the top of my arms and chest. The belly has room in it. It is not an athletic cut. The arms are also a little long. I have extremely long arms, and the arms are almost too long for me. Finally, the last downside is poor zipper protection. If you find yourself leaning on your tank, the sleeve zippers may scratch your tank.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller

Additional Sizing Notes: I have an Icon leather jacket that I love and fits true to size. I wear a XXL in all my clothes and that jacket. I had to order a XXXL in this jacket.

Pros: I agree with Jasper above. Great simple styling, great details (like satin finish zippers, and rubber coated buttons), and vert rugged construction for a lightweight textile jacket. Enough pockets for the basics. LOTS of air flow. Have worn this in +90 degree weather in slow city traffic, and only my head was sweating under the helmet. Feels as safe as leather at higher speed sportbiking. Obviously not for the track. Armor is more than sufficient. Simple slso great for those riding vintage rides, or newer BMW, Triumph, etc. No flashy 'squid' styling here.

Cons: Armor is a little uncomfortable at first, especially the shoulder armor, (which I removed), 'til you break it in. Padded collar is a little rough until after a few rides. Other than that, no complaints.
